--- Comment #41 from Attila Szűcs <attila.sz...@collabora.com> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #40) I may misunderstand you... but the way we justify the text is not an attempt from us, but rather a standard .. it is used everywhere for many years, and peoples used to it. If we start to alter from standards in layouting ... i would prepare a ton of annoyed peoples complaining about regressions... interopability problems, and so and so... If we just truncate meaningless spaces, we will get less complains.. Because the layout may not change at that time.. but later the layout can change. you should prepare for reports like this: I typed 'A' then deleted.. and the layout not as it was.. ?! I printed like 100pieces when i realyzed they are bad... you may try to explain to him that his 2-3 space moved to line end, there it truncated, and then when came back it remained 1 space.. so layout changed.... but they will not care.. they will say.. it shoud not happen... if i type a letter and delete back... it should be the same! Or if you delete every 2 spaces.. many peoples will complain about... why i can't put 2 spaces between 2 word? i used to do that... and now i can't... This is only 2 example that i suddenly thinked about.. but be prepared for a lot more, some much more complex... and their problem wont be simple visual effect... but problem in printed versions... If my commit with the wrong cursor is annoy you so much that you think it cant be patched to be OK ... then go ahead and revert it.. i dont care.. (however some peoples may will complain to you) but please, do not try to alter layouting with just some logic reasons... it can potentially do a lot of harm to a lot of users... who used to this layouting in the past 10+ years... you should think about all of them, you should check many special cases, and make sure to do minimal problems for them. for exampole think about peoples who just changed from MS word, but somewhy they are forced to import/export docx files.. and have to send their docs to peoples with MS word ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
